The Toxic Free Campaign

Do you apply 168 chemicals to your body every day?

oductWomen are at risk of toxic burden. Compared to men, women apply more than twice the amount of products to their skin every day. But, do you really know what you are putting onto your skin, absorbed directly into your body? Are all those chemicals healthy?

According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, their 2013 report stated that there is “robust” evidence linking “toxic environmental agents” to “adverse reproductive and developmental health outcomes”.

According to a study carried out by the US Environmental Working Group, women apply an average of 168 chemicals to their skin on a daily basis and that is a lot of chemicals. Every single ingredient is classified as a “chemical”, even water is a chemical, so it is important to note that the term chemical is not necessarily a toxic substance.

Chemicals are everywhere and our bodies produce toxins naturally. So what is all the hype about chemicals being bad for your health?

More often than not these potentially harmful chemicals are contaminated. This raises serious alarm concerning public health and safety. Do you know what you are putting onto your skin and body? Do you prefer certified products?
